During the winter months, I can happily spend week after week working away at my dining room table or perched at my desk (located behind the television), without feeling even a little bit restless. Many a day has passed when I haven’t so much as stepped toe outside my apartment building. But as soon as the weather begins to warm and the days lengthen, I start to feel squirrelly.

Lately, staying inside has made me feel fidgety, as if the walls of my apartment are a particularly itchy and confining wool sweater. And so, I’ve been changing my patterns and heading outside.

Some days, I only go as far as my neighborhood coffee shop or the covered concrete patio that juts off on the west side of my apartment building. Other days (far more infrequent than I’d like), I blow off work entirely and visit a friend who moved about an hour away this time last year and had a sweet baby boy back in December.

The one thing that all these outings have in common is my devotion to always packing a snack. As someone who tries to eat well most of the time but is highly susceptible to bakery cases and bags of chips at the check-out counter, being prepared is hugely helpful in avoiding temptation.

Lately, I’ve been reaching for my stash of BNTO jar adapters from Cuppow to help me pack up portable and waste-free snacks (because even when you do find a relatively virtuous snack in the world, the amount of packaging is enough to drive an environmentally minded person a little bit crazy).

On the particularly day pictured here, I filled jars with carrot sticks, apple slices, and yogurt with a dollop of quince jam. Into the BNTO adapters, I put peanut butter, hummus, and a bit of granola (embarrassingly, it was not homemade). Some homemade cold brew went into a wide mouth pint, with one of my original Cuppow lids secured on top for easy sipping.

With picnic season upon us, I encourage you all to spend a few minutes thinking about how you pack up your sandwiches, snacks, and treats. Perhaps a new BNTO or two would make the process more streamlined and less wasteful!

A few years ago, I used to drive quite a distance to work. I always packed a bag with finger food snacks like cereal squares, granola bars, juices, cheese and crackers, I called it my “I might starve bag.”

I love using jars for my lunches. I like to make a fuss to get a nice lunch but if it tips over on the way to work or spills in my bag…that’s not good. I’m thinking I could really use jar inserts in my daily routine. Thanks for the offer!

This is awesome! I’ve loved these products for a while now! This is the perfect time of year to use these. With all the outdoor activities like sporting events, picnics and bike rides these would make the perfect waste free accessories for my lifestyle!!

I like using Cuppow for cereal … my grains go in the glass compartment and my yogurt or almond milk go into the little cup. I also have an amazing salted caramel recipe that I oour into the jar and add the sipper lid. I can pour it right out when it’s warm to drizzle over desserts. It’s ingenius!

I could see these working great for my son this summer. If I had some of these, he might even let me start packing his lunch again. I could see vegesticks, lettuce wraps with meat and dippers.. He is a fan of salads as well. Yes, this could put me back on his lunch maker track! I’d sure be a happy mama.

To take my homemade New Orleans Iced Coffee on the go! It’s brewed with chicory, cut with whole milk, absolutely delicious. After trying it for the first time at Blue Bottle Coffee in San Francisco and subsequently finding instructions for brewing on their website, it’s my favorite treat to welcome summer!
